Subject field(s)

DEF

A nondialyzable heat-stable macromolecule, mol. wt. approximately 20,000-30,000, released by lymphocytes stimulated by specific antigen, that causes nonstimulated lymphocytes to undergo blast transformation and cell division.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Immunologie
DEF

Lymphokine [...] produite par une sous-classe de lymphocytes T quand ils sont stimulés par un antigène.

OBS

Ce facteur mitogénique est capable d'induire la prolifération des lymphocytes T et des lymphocytes B, et cette action est assez importante pour qu'un anticorps agissant contre cette lymphokine inhibe purement et simplement la réaction immune dans la culture leucocytaire mixte.
